Key drivers

  • FY2026 DoD award flow is tracking close to recent years but below FY2021-FY2022 highs
  • DoD procurement and operations funding remains large enough to support a near-flat transaction count
  • Administrative reporting and late fiscal-year modification volume can move the final count materially
  • First registered USAspending API snapshot may miss some lagged procurement corrections

rule
Resolve from the first official USAspending API v2 registered query snapshot for agency 097 with fiscal_year=2026 in the registered 2026-10-15 to 2026-10-22 release window, using the transaction_count field multiplied by 0.000001 and rounded to millions; do not revise for later API updates or corrections.
